I guess because he has a ton of trade value and is over 25.
I don’t think there’s anything driving this other than Dvorak is actually desirable league wide. I think Armstrong would like to trade Keller and Schmaltz as well but no one wants their contracts.I suspect there's more to it than that, especially given how tight a lid BA usually seems to want to keep on the franchise. Grain of salt for media speculation, but there is a difference between "Armstrong is listening to offers for Dvorak" and "The Coyotes are working to trade Dvorak." And at this point, with seven picks in the first two rounds of the Draft, moving Dvorak for draft capital at this point seems rather unnecessary.
I just get the feeling that something about Dvorak rubbed Armstrong wrong. I don't know why I feel that way, or what it could be, but just taking everything out there more or less at face value, I think there's something underlying this.
This is fun.
I agree with trading Dvorak being unnecessary. I disagree about GMBA. Every indication tells me that other teams asking about the availability of CD, not that he is being shopped around. There is no reason to trade him right now.I suspect there's more to it than that, especially given how tight a lid BA usually seems to want to keep on the franchise.

Did anyone actually read or hear Morgan say this?
I read every article and tweet and listen to every podcast.

Zary is going to be a good two-player in the NHL. Zary + a pick for Dvorak would be a good move.I think we could get Zary+ from Calgary. Or at least that would be the asking price.
I'm not convinced Calgary is interested in Dvorak. He's a better fit on a more desperate playoff team. Calgary isn't rising. They need to keep Zary and the prized pick that BA would steal and focus on building the future. Dvorak should center Stone and Paciaretti.I think we could get Zary+ from Calgary.

The Flames ownership sadly thinks they're a contender. They're building to win right now when they shouldn't beI'm not convinced Calgary is interested in Dvorak.

Calgary wants to build around Tkachuk. Lots of rumours of Tkachuk wanting out (St Louis likely being the source). Who was Tkachuk’s C in junior? Dvorak. Not hard to connect the dots if u see a struggling franchise trying to appease their star player.I'm not convinced Calgary is interested in Dvorak. He's a better fit on a more desperate playoff team.

Didn’t Tkachuk once call him the best captain he’s played for? (Assuming he meant apart from Gio).Calgary wants to build around Tkachuk.

For a team that brought in Sutter with a GM thats a five game losing streak from losing his job there has been shockingly very little turnover in Calgary.Didn’t Tkachuk once call him the best captain he’s played for? (Assuming he meant apart from Gio).
I’d do Dvo for Zary. I’d even let them add Lucic as a dump if they’d kick in a pick. Like Dvo for Lucic, Zary, and a 2nd. Keeps them out of caphell and gets us another asset.
Pretty big reset for their room too. A lot of smoke around that room. Gio and Looch probably aren’t the problem but maybe them leaving gets others to step up and the problem takes care of itself.
Morgan with the best quote in the comments.
He’s saying -8 wins from last seasons wins/82 pace? That was 35 for us. So predicting 27 for next season?Man, we are going to be bad.. Matter of fact Webster will refer to the Coyotes as the very definition of bad. Bad see Phoenix Coyotes

And why on earth are we even entertaining trading him.Who trades a 25 year old two way C with a very good 200 foot game with offensive upside with term and a very acceptable cap hit? Nobody. That’s why there’s interest.
